with my gt brakes, i can already get into ABS mode with race pads on cup tires. I would need to be running full on race slicks to need more brake. More is always better but ....not sure I need it now.

sweet lookin caliper though. great video at the link.

If it's painted it's a street caliper.

brembo mentioned one of the options is anodized... (the one on the left behind the red caliper)

its still not a race caliper (the pad thickness is a dead giveaway), but looks better than their gt lineup which some folks here use for street/light track duty

Which ones?

I have to say that I've had good results with the GT setup. Especially once I upgraded to the wide annulus rotors. Maybe I'm just slow.

I did contact brembo about upgrading to the GT-R calipers (nickel plated range above GT and below full race). While they are a direct bolt on replacement they won't sell just the calipers. Bummer.
